    is this enough intake?

    We need more details, like are the "intakes" and "exhausts" passive or active. And is there filtering involved, or is this a strait ventilation system?

    need ideas where to get 5 gallon buckets (NOT LOWES OR HD)

    I bought about a dozen of them from a little, roadside, "Flowerstand" a couple of years ago. Regular "White plastic", a buck apiece.

    A little advice?

    I can't really tell what size that tub is, it appears to be about 2'x 2' and about 3" or 4" inches deep - with all of your roots grown together into one rootmass. If that's about right, you're too crowded and there's not much you can do about it! If you have all 11 plants squeezed into 4...

    question for the more experienced

    By the way, I'm not trying to mock you, or make fun of you in any way, shape, or form. I'm just pointing out the irony of the obvious! First of all, you are asking us "why" a plant acts in a certain way. Let me just say this - my dog (a very macho, little, 4 lb., Long Haired Chihuahua) is...

    CFL Growers

    I can't believe this thread has gone on this far and nobody has pointed out that there is already a whole Sub-Forum dedicated to CFL growing - "All CFL, all the time"! https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-growing/ The above link is to the "CFL Sub-Forum" on the Indoor Growers forum.

    E-26 base cfl's?

    I don't know that much about CFL's, to tell you the truth! But I do know what an E-26 lamp base is - that's all I was saying!

    how much weight will my buds lose drying?

    Dry buds will weigh about 25% of what they did wet. It will vary a little (+ or -) depending on what you consider "Dry".

    Soil to start with

    Perlite and Vermiculite are very similar in the way they act as a soil amendment, both are rather neutral in terms of pH and nutrient value. Perlite looks like little white chunks of styrofoam, maybe 1/16" - 1/4". Vermiculite looks like little grey or tan, shiney, pieces of crushed "Pea Gravel"...

    quick question

    The problem with "Window Growing" is that the Sun moves from one side, all the way to the other! In the morning you only get direct sunlight through East facing windows. From late morning to mid-afternoon you only get direct sunlight through South facing windows. Then, in the later part of...

    N-P-K Ratios

    Whatever ratio of N-P-K numbers you use, has mostly to do with what stage of growth you are in at that time. For example, during the veg stage, the plants need a lot of Nitrogen. So a ratio about twice as high in "N" (as compared to "P" and "K") is called for, in "Veg". On the other hand...

    Whitney farms ferts any good?

    Yeah! I use Whitney Farms, not the "Vine & Avocado" stuff, but the "All-Purpose" (5-5-5) Plant Food. I use it along with 2 other "Meal Based" dry, organic, fertilizers and a veriety of composted manures. GOOD STUFF!

    I have found...

    Poultry manure is good shit (pun intended). It forms the basis for quite a few different brands of "Organic Fertilizers".

    Soil to start with

    That's almost the same as my "4-Way Mix": 1 part "Store Bought" Topsoil. 1 part compost. 1 part vermiculite or perlite. 1 part composted "Steer Manure". The "1 part Steer Manure" is just a guideline. You can make that "1 part" out of anything you want to mix together, as long as 25% of the...

    quick easy light question?

    For all flourescent lights: 6,500 K is the best spectrum for Vegging. 2,700 K is the best spectrum for Flowering. Yes, replace them!

    who thinks there going to legalize pot?

    All the information I have seen so far, indicate that this Bill will be "favorably recieved" by well over 50% of the California voters (including me!). Many cities, across the state, will now be able to take in cash revenues on legitimately taxed cannabis sales - instead of throwing money away...

    who thinks there going to legalize pot?

    In the November elections, in the state of California only (sorry for the rest of you!), there is a Bill to be voted on. I'm sorry, I don't know the correct terminology - but anyway. It would actually LEGALIZE CANNABIS in California, the same way gambling is legal in Nevada. A few main points...
